Massari (R&M, www.rdm.com), the Swiss structured cabling specialist, continues its successful series of innovative product launches with the introduction of its Single Circuit Management (SCM) portfolio. The new SCM product family optimizes Fiber to the Home (FTTH) network performance and will be available in the Middle East and Africa. As the proliferation of FTTH networks continues throughout Middle East and Africa, brought on by the need for faster broadband speeds, network operators need a solution to handle the increased number of optical fibers in a reliable and ordered way. In line with its strategy of developing forward looking products, R&M developed the breakthrough SCM portfolio, to manage fibers and subscriber connections normally. SCM is the heart of the R&M FTTH product portfolio and is optimal for next generation networks in central offices, data centers, and FTTX architectures. The main application of the SCM is the physical separation of the subscriber and features modular construction, unique subscriber management, 40 mm bending radius, and single element (SE) tray for 24 fibers. SCM supports all FTTH's current market strategies such as Point to Point (P2P) or Point to Multipoint (P2MP) and Open Access, and scales for future high-power and xWDM applications for ultra-broadband networks. Jean Pierre Labry, managing director of R&M Middle East and Africa, said "R&M has continued its innovation leadership with the introduction of the groundbreaking SCM product portfolio to add to its over 5,500 copper and fiber product solutions. With the SCM product suite, network operators now have a unique solution to handle network connections easily and ultimately optimize FTTH network performance."
